*: "Creation Edges" here refers to the following: the Edges you can take for being human, and in exchange for Hindrances, and for the MARS PCO "any Edge" choice. It does not apply to Edges taken as part of MARS advancement tracks or HJ table rolls.
Since the very real possibility is that no one item will get a majority vote, I'm going to suggest we start counting from the bottom of the list up, and wherever we get to a majority of the final tally is where we actually stop counting.
FREX: If the vote is 3 for A, 3 for B, 3 for C, and 1 for D, we would count 1+3+3, at which point we have a majority, and B would take the victory lap.

Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
Is the “as long as they own it” option meant to have been left off?
Edit: I see from the prior thread that this was intentional. I'm not sure I agree with the logic, but then I did ask someone else to make the poll for this one.

Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
And if a character takes Rich but not at character generation? Is that disallowed?

Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
Yes, it is disallowed, because the difference between that and a purchased or salvaged vehicle (again, eliminated option) is trivial.
Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
I’d quibble with the idea that it’s trivial; choosing the Rich Edge uses up an Advance, which can take a quarter or longer to earn and represents a very real opportunity cost.
I also don’t see a compelling distinction between using Rich at character creation (Great! You qualify!) and using it for your 5 XP Advance (Sorry! No Signature Vehicle for you!). Seems on the arbitrary end of the scale. If we’re going to allow Rich, I’d prefer it just be allowed.

As a note, while I am in the camp of 99% against Rich being used to justify a Signature Vehicle, no matter when selected. I would point out that Rich selected at creation does burn one of those vital and amazing Born a Hero edge options. so it does have a lighter weight when selected later in the carrier of a character.

Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
There’s no good narrative justification for the difference, though. And, though I will freely admit to taking advantage of the Born a Hero Setting Rule, I could honestly take or leave it. I don’t think I find it quite as awesome as some others do (which is fine; it just doesn’t move the needle as much for me).RFT wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:00 am @Pursuit

Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
Voted for the last option, as it is the least objectionable in my view. I still don’t buy this logic.

Re: Signature Heavy Equipment
Let's go with the voted option. This is basically for spending EP.
Pursuit, for gear acquired during game play or even via the Rich edge after creation, nothing is stopping a GM from souping it up with the player like we're doing in the 1st SET right now during downtime. So in some ways this covers all the bases.
